Why now
Auto Parts · market cap $10.1b. Down 46% from 52-week high of $88.93 — deep drawdown territory. PEG 0.95 — paying under fair value for the growth rate. 18 sell-side analysts rate this a Strong Buy with a mean 1-yr target of $77.67 (implying +63% upside).
Moat
Free cash flow runs well ahead of reported net income — non-cash charges (depreciation, intangible amortization) are holding down GAAP earnings while cash generation stays strong.
Risk
Down 46% from the 52-week high — the market is pricing in something the screen can't see; verify the bear case before sizing up. Net margin 1.8% is thin — operating leverage cuts both ways; input-cost inflation or pricing pressure hits the bottom line first. ROE 4% is below the long-run sustainable threshold of ~10% — capital efficiency would need to improve for the equity base to compound at the market rate.
Horizon
1-3 yr $77.67 (18-analyst consensus) — multiple re-rating thesis requires a catalyst. 5 yr $98.05 at ~16% CAGR — dividend + buyback compounding. 10 yr $125.75 if the moat survives secular pressure.

Aptiv PLC (APTV): score, valuation & FAQ
Aptiv PLC (APTV) is a Auto Parts company that scores 51.9 out of 100 on the Bull Rankings quality-growth model — a middling reading. The score blends three pillars — quality (durable returns, healthy margins, low leverage), growth (revenue and earnings), and value (valuation versus sector peers) — into one number, refreshed daily; it is a screen, not a buy recommendation.
Its strongest graded signals are PEG (B+). On valuation, APTV sits about 37% below our discounted-cash-flow fair value (a margin of safety) — the current price implies roughly -2% annual free-cash-flow growth over the next decade.
Is APTV a good stock to buy?
Bull Rankings scores APTV 51.9 out of 100 on its quality-growth model, which is a middling reading. That is driven by PEG (B+). A score is a quantitative screen of Aptiv PLC's fundamentals, not personalised financial advice — weigh it against your own time horizon and risk tolerance, and read the risk factors below before acting.
Why does APTV score 51.9 on Bull Rankings?
The quality-growth score blends three pillars — quality (returns on capital, margins, leverage, earnings quality), growth (revenue and earnings expansion), and value (valuation versus sector peers). APTV earns its highest marks on PEG (B+). Each pillar is graded against sector-aware thresholds, then combined into the single 0–100 score.
Is APTV overvalued or undervalued?
Based on $47.69, APTV sits about 37% below our discounted-cash-flow fair value (a margin of safety) — the current price implies roughly -2% annual free-cash-flow growth over the next decade. It trades at a 27.9x× P/E (graded C+). Discounted-cash-flow estimates are sensitive to growth and discount-rate assumptions, so treat this as a cross-check, not a price target.
What are the main risks of investing in APTV?
Down 46% from the 52-week high — the market is pricing in something the screen can't see; verify the bear case before sizing up. Net margin 1.8% is thin — operating leverage cuts both ways; input-cost inflation or pricing pressure hits the bottom line first. ROE 4% is below the long-run sustainable threshold of ~10% — capital efficiency would need to improve for the equity base to compound at the market rate.
